Essex & Suffolk Borders

Whether you own a modern or a classic Jaguar the Essex and Suffolk Borders region offers every member the same warm welcome.

We enjoy a very active social calendar arranging many events throughout the year, from shows, barbecues, weekend trips and rallies both here and overseas, not forgetting our annual dinner and dance.These help create the social atmosphere we have all come to enjoy. We are constantly looking for new places to visit and encourage our members to suggest new ideas.

We invite speakers to our club nights covering a range of subjects from Jaguar related to non technical such as antique valuation evenings. Good weather provides the opportunity to open our bonnets and discuss all things about our cars.

Matthew, our host, provides us with a dedicated room, offering good food and drink to those who wish to partake, together with dedicated parking for club members. These evenings are ideal for new members, with an informal atmosphere enabling them to get to know others and chat about cars and life in general. We would be delighted to meet you there.

We believe that a good variety of members and their cars who enjoy sharing their passion, knowledge and expertise with other Jaguar owners is of mutual benefit, and it is that which makes the membership of the JEC the success it is today.

So if you are looking to make new friends and show off your pride and joy, why not join in with our many activities arranged throughout the year. You will not be disappointed.

Insurance Checklist

Before you get in touch with us please make sure to note down as many of the following details as possible. If you can complete the checklist ahead of time, it’ll make the process of arranging your insurance quick, simple and easy.

 

Personal Details

  • Your personal details, including your full address, home, work and mobile phone numbers, and email address.
  • The full name, address, date of birth, duration of licence to drive, and 5-year claim and conviction record of the person who will be driving the vehicle(s).
  • Your membership number for the JEC
  • How many vehicles are in the household (you might qualify for multi-car insurance).

 

Vehicle Details

  • The make, model and year of the vehicle(s).
  • The current overall mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • The engine size and specification of the vehicle(s).
  • All modifications made to the vehicle(s), such as the installation of non-standard wheels, aftermarket electronic equipment, performance-enhancing parts, or cosmetic upgrades.
  • Any previous professional valuations of the vehicle(s).

 

Vehicle Use

  • Where the vehicle(s) is/are typically kept overnight (e.g. a garage).
  • The expected annual mileage of the vehicle(s).
  • What the vehicle(s) is/are typically used for.
  • What cover (if any) is required for:
    • Commuting or driving as part of a job.
    • JEC TrackSport, or other such situations.
    • Use of the vehicle(s) abroad.

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
